A Beautiful Gem.

Last night, as the bells pealed out
the hour of twelve, the soul of
eighteen hundred and sixty-six took
its flight through the silence and
darkness Of midnight to range itself
by the shadow of that first year that
witnessed order brought out of chaos,
saw the world hung in space and the
planets fixed upon the face of the
heavens-bright jewels twined about
the brow of God-and heard the CO.
lestial music when the morning stars
first sank the praise and glory of their
Creator. What a story of Joy and
sorrow, of hope and disappointment
of life and death, could that dead
year tell. II has witnessed empires
shaken TO their centers by the throes
of popular revolutions. 1t has seen
the hand of oblivion passed over
principalities and powers, and their
places on the map have become
vacant forever, 1t has looked upon
the old man, full of years and hon
ors. gathered to his fathers, and
watched tho young bride stricken
down at the altar. The very reflex
and symbol of the life of man 1t has
been. The young babe is shadowed
In its opening leaves, aud buds flow
ers. The strong and lusty youth ap-
pears in all its manly strength IN the
vigorous spring. The man ofmaturc
years and approved wisdom stands
erect In the fullness and flush OF sum
mer. The descent OF life isseen in the
fading glories of autumn. And the
nigh approach unto the eud is toe
well foreshadowed in the hoary and
inHrm winter ;aud "the end ofearth,
10 our short lived humanity, was fit
" symbolized in the death ofthe veal

MAKING SHEEP PAY. '



cessful FloclInasters.
There are many farmers keeping
+ sheep who caro- for them in such q
way that they do not receive half the
profit from them that they might. All
stock-keepers ain at getting pay for
their expense and labor. But the
methods of doing this are widely diff
ferent There is quite large class
who seem TO think that the profit is
inherent in the animal, and that IL
only requires so many sheep on a
farm to make certain gain, and II
the profit is not found, 1t is tho fault
Of the sheep. This class never study
the nature and wants of tho animal,
and then provide for them in n gener-
GUS way. that they may produce
generous. return. They often lay
great stress upon tho breed, but none
upon tho care and feed. This class
will nevcr make any thing by keeping
stock of any kind. They believe some
thing comes from nothing; in
miracles. and not in works.
But the class that can make sheen
pay, believe that every pound of NUT
Ton, and every pound Of wool repre-
sents certain amount of food and
care. They believe much in breed,
but that every breed has been produced
by intelligent selection and generous
treatment They have no faith that
any breed can produce carcass Of
two hundred pounds weight and a
fleece Of twelve TO fifteen pounds with
out eating the amount of food required
for that weight Of carcass and fleece.
They know that time is u most impor-
tant element in the growth Of all ami
mails, and that the shorter the time re-
quired to reach certain weight the
greater the profit This principle
once established, they are not
looking for sheep that eat but lit
tie, but for those that can eat and.
digest the most. They naturally regard
the capacity to eat and utilize food, as

aud other resorts for the treatment
Of blood aud skin diseases, would
seek to indicate that the continued
use of strong mineral poisons is a
great factor in producing this much
dreaded scourge, This, of course,
would probably not happen, provided
these strong mineral mixtures were
always administered under the eye
Of a competent physician. But
when compounded into nostrums
the consumer does not know how
large a dose Of these poisons he Is
taking, and consequently runs the
risk of being liable to all the dangers
Of an unwise use Of mineral medi-
cines.
Persons, therefore, suffering from
blood poison or skin troubles, who
do not consult physicians, should be
careful of those corrosive medicines.

A Reduction of Stock.

Many farmers habitually carry toe
much stock through the winter, to
their great loss. A farm ought to bo
fully stocked but never overstocked.
Yet 1t seems TO be difficult to induce
some men to reduce their herds and
Hocks. They seem to be governed in
the matter by some such dislike as peo-
pic have in thinning fruit But every
one knows what sheer folly it is to
have more cattle or sheep than can be
we'll fed and otherwise taken care of.
At such time as this. when prices are
very low. It will DO harder than ever
Tor somo farmers to screw their cour-
xge up to the sticking point of reduc-
ing the herds and flocks. But, better
mako the sacrifice. Heroically look
the situation in the face; see how many
head you can carry through as they
ought to be carried through, and get
rid of the rest to the best possible ad-
vantage, but get rid Of them. Detroit
